Anyone who says "wake me when..." deserves to be left to sleep when it happens, AFAIC. Sleep away, little sheep. Sleep away. Well none of my investments are affected by day to day market fluctuations or index moves. I'm well aware of market movements and the impact on my investments. I stand by my statement, if it hits 5% today then I'll sit up and take notice. In the meantime, this is merely noise. I wonder how many market "experts" offering up commentary on today's action have every had a penny invested in the markets? Me regretfully. Should have "pulled it". |

With all its cheating heart, and all its mercenary soul. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22104388 More than that, actually — it adores him. The love story of Wall Street and Obama is a bromance like no other, a man-crush for the ages. Despite his threats to soak the wealthy for more taxes, despite Fed Chairman’s attack on savers, despite even his threat to kill special treatment for dividends, institutional investors have thrown themselves at Obama’s feet as they have not done in the first term of any president in the past century. You could look it up. The S&P 500 has gained 76% since his inauguration in January 2009, while the Nasdaq 100 is up 128%. Compare that to the S&P 500’s 13% decline and the Nasdaq 100’s 45% wipeout in the first term of his predecessor, George W. Bush; or the mere 25% gain in the first term of conservative icon Ronald Reagan; or even the 60% gain in the halcyon early 1990s in the first term of Bill Clinton. [link to www.marketwatch.com] lol...done and over the same could have been said for GWB...because sure the market went up during his first term, but boy oh boy did the devil come back and collect before it was over all BS stories eventually find their limit of credibility the market plunged for a month after Obama's inauguration...in fact the low point of the crash was not in 2008, but March 2009 The only thing which halted the crash was a d'etente between Obama and the big banking heads the market recovered the day that the heads of GS, JPM and MS went to visit O in the White House and deals were made...you can look on every chart and see the sharp V shaped recovery on that exact date But this time the animosity is real, the deals have been broken and Wall Street knows Obama will screw them to the wall. Furthemore Elizabeth Warren who hates WS has been elected and will continue the job Never mind the fact that many traders and bankers are still dealing with lack of power, destroyed homes and gridlock commutes, which isn't helping their state of mind any I put out an alert to buy puts weeks back, and I hold by that call more than ever |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4727082 United States 11/07/2012 12:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a sign that the economy cannot sustain itself at it's current level. An American company who manufactures their products overseas, as it's cheaper and for some reason they get a tax break, cannot expect American's to purchase their products if there are no jobs available. 1) Senior citizens are retiring later, require more medical help, and have established wages earned by company loyalty, as well as stock-options, savings accounts, etc. 2) New graduates and student debt loans/grants are a fiscal nightmare. The reason the administration passed the student debt bill was because when those default it's going to really bankrupt the federal debt. I read a Bloomberg Business mag a few months back that was dedicated to the student debt. Some idiot kid took out over $100k for a degree in fashion and theater costume something design. Instead of relegating funds for serious degrees (i.e. helping to fund science labs, student learning centers, etc.) we're paying for a douchebag to learn how to sew a dress. - There are issues, of course with school administrations giving themselves raises, lavishing money on sports programs and neglecting math and science programs, and the rising cost of tuition, books, and tons of out-of-pocket expenditures for the students themselves. I'm going to have to shell out money for drug tests for my radiology program, as well as pay to apply and purchasing scrubs and all of that. This is all on top of paying for the classes. 3) With old people still in the workforce, and young people graduating with serious debt and are unable to find jobs that pay their bills, and our business shipping jobs overseas the job market is stagnating. Add to this the rising cost of living: gas, groceries, utilities; everything is cheaply made so you're having to replace things or ghetto-rig it to work. The only way to fix things is to buckle down, cut spending and raise taxes, and to put some sort of protectionist measures in place to keep companies from sending jobs overseas. At least cut the tax breaks In that area. Everyone is going to have to bite the bullet for a few years to get this shit together. You don't like it? Tough shit. Things aren't working, and doing the same shit is not going to help. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25140151 United States 11/07/2012 12:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The communists replaced the Dow components that were lower. Quoting: uscrusader1 The Dow so called 'industrials' now have less industrials if you noticed Quoting: Obamney 4493739 This is an important point. "Indexes" are typically what are used in selling stocks to the "little people". And there is a regular ("rotation") to move out of the indexes, companies that have crashed, gone bankrupt, or otherwise underperforming, or likely to underperform. This makes the indexes look much better than an actual portfolio of "diversified" stocks. Even the Dow of about a hundred years ago...only has one or two companies left alive today. Imagine what an actual portfolio would look like? (with the value of your dollar, equal to less than one cent from then, AND many of your companies' equity gone to ZERO!). Still the myth continues on, of "buy and hold" or "invest for the long term". Even this "runnup" in the markets - to only near the high of about 11 or 12 years ago or so, (and given that the value of the dollar is in the neighborhood of HALF OF WHAT IT WAS then), means that your "real" value of today's index of stocks, is only about half of the purchasing power of what it would have been around 2000. This is called "the inflation adjusted return" on your stocks; and it's not good. For most - it's a disaster, just like it would have been with a great, great grandparent, gifting a portfolio of the Dow of 1912 to kin of today. Praise God |
